See the bit on robins at the University of Michigan Animal Diversity web: http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Turdus_migratorius.html, for a start, and the robin FAQ at http://www.learner.org/jnorth/tm/robin/FAQGenInfo.html . A lot of robins have been banded, and their lifespans recorded from banding records, so this is one question which can be answered from recorded data rather than supposition. Many American robins die in their first year, and many more die in their second year. Those that surive that long, however, commonly live to 5-6 years, and the longest recorded lifespan of a wild, banded bird was 13 years, 11 months.
